[b][i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Entrance Gate[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE8b2JW9sAI]Hora theae[/url] [i]After some walk, Kaito, Tiane and Xaizor reached the school.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Bml5VJQ.png[/img] Kaito: Finally, we reached school. Can't believe we actually ran up this late. [img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img] Xaizor: Well, the battle before was fierce, so I can understand it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img] Kaito: Sure, I guess. Man, it really feels weird to be on the front lines, fighting like this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img] Xaizor: It kinda surprised me when you appeared and fought, actually. You never looked like you knew how to fight, Kaito. [img]https://i.imgur.com/5Ni8MqY.png[/img] Kaito: And I didn't. It was only after meeting Jin that I began to fight. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tqfHLBg.png[/img] Kaito: He gave me those chakrams and I just used them. When I saw it, flames came out of it and it felt natural... somehow. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxGmWxI.png[/img] Xaizor: Hmm... sure... I bet you were hiding this from us and never talked about it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3iIzZff.png[/img] Kaito: What?! There's no whay that could ever happen! If I knew how to fight, I would've done it a long time ago! [img]https://i.imgur.com/cZHCl2X.png[/img] Xaizor: That kinda reminds me... this town is... sorta messed up, right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/71kyvRy.png[/img] Kaito: "Sorta" is a misunderstanding. But yeah, our home is completely upside down. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WZcK3d6.png[/img] Xaizor: Hmm... I wonder what Dad would do if he was in our place... [img]https://i.imgur.com/DzNjiXy.png[/img] Kaito: You really look up to your father, Xaizor. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jv6RDoR.png[/img] Xaizor: Of course I do! I wanna be an awesome and powerful king just like Dad! That's my dream ever since I was a little kid! [img]https://i.imgur.com/nHoaF56.png[/img] Kaito: I see. That's a rather normal dream for someone as nuts as you are. [i]Meanwhile, inside the school, Masaru was just walking around the corridors, worried about Lilina.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/QkTZpGM.png[/img] Masaru: (She hasn't shown up yesterday at all. I tried calling her phone but she didn't pick it up a single time. I hope she's OK...) [b][i][u]Location: World Crossers Guild[/u][/i][/b] [i]Chat goes on and on at the main hall when the door suddenly opens. To Lilina's surprise, Marina and Lucent were the ones who appeared.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xvDqNpS.png[/img] Lilina: Marina?! Lucent?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/3xK7Mbp.png[/img] Marina: Oh, it is Miss Lilina. Good morning! [img]https://i.imgur.com/3jccryV.png[/img] Lucent: G... good morning... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ft7jZjX.png[/img] Heather: Oh, are they your friends from school, Lilina? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Zkm2prd.png[/img] Lilina: Sort of...? (I mean, I'm not lying, but I don't talk with them either.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/9JgZltw.png[/img] Jin: So, uh, with who should I speak about these two? [img]https://i.imgur.com/bgGSTHV.png[/img] Heather: Wow, what a strong young man. To carry injured people, each on an arm like this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img] Marina: Actually, they were assailants. An attack was being executed by them in some streets up from here. [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id5Spwt-O1s]Tension (Persona 5)[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/r2xUJMz.png[/img] Lilina: What?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/2ljnxNw.png[/img] Jin: These two guys were eating people's dreams. We were there, so we decided to intercept them and stop whatever they were doing. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Tb6SS8l.png[/img] 5T: Eating... people's dreams? What does that mean? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DEL0dJO.png[/img] Marina: It sounds crazy, but it is true. It is one of the reasons why the population appears so disheartened these days. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1xkB4lt.png[/img] Heather: It's one thing after another... will this town never find peace? [img]https://i.imgur.com/38jFnIs.png[/img] Lilina: Wait, I still don't get the whole "dream eating" thing? What does that mean? [img]https://i.imgur.com/9W2NWsK.png[/img] Lucent: ... It's... not that... complicated, I-I guess... [img]https://i.imgur.com/7iCdopA.png[/img] 5T: ... You seem to know how this works, Mr. Vermillion. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TuhT9uk.png[/img] Lucent: Y-You...!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/JUZWKZU.png[/img] 5T: You were the victim of yesterday's attack so remembering you isn't hard. Still, victim or not, you know something about this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/83cdpUp.png[/img] Lucent: ... I... do. [img]https://i.imgur.com/fZE60Hw.png[/img] 5T: Then I don't suppose you mind if we ask you questions about it. We need to understand this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img] Lucent: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/8OuRFcP.png[/img] Marina: There is one condition. I must be there with Mister Lucent. [img]https://i.imgur.com/g9IEQQT.png[/img] Lilina: Marina... are you sure? [img]https://i.imgur.com/M5WJ0gB.png[/img] Marina: He is not good with pressure, so a friend might be able to calm him down. Besides, I believe I can explain in better terms about the attack. [b][i][u]Location: Fon Ventorian Mansion - Main Hall[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM: Elegant Summer still playing[/i][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ouhTiNv.png[/img] Lass: So that is our task. Very well. Roger, head back to the base and gather our best men for this mission. [img]https://i.imgur.com/9thILGj.png[/img] Roger: Yes sir! [img]https://i.imgur.com/PiECKgX.png[/img] Astra: Oh, but you're not going. I heard that you failed on your endeavors with the Intelligence Squad yesterday. Embarassing the Black Moon to the Resistance takes some guts, Roger. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3tZGTed.png[/img] Roger: Ehehe... well, I, uh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/00qz3rx.png[/img] Astra: Thanks to your uselessness, they couldn't get the info they wanted. And I didn't meet with the squad leader for him to complain directly with me. You're in charge of cleaning the base and the inn today. [img]https://i.imgur.com/uFMMOsQ.png[/img] Roger: W-What?! All of it?! But you just said I'm one of the least "incompetent" ones! [img]https://i.imgur.com/8uv3TCL.png[/img] Lass: ... Sarcasm, Roger. Now leave, before I lose my patience with you and make your punishment even worse. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vHZn0sK.png[/img] Roger: Y-Yes, Master Avenger. [i]Roger awkwardly bowed to Marilee, Barry and Saika before leaving the house back to the Black Moon's base. Astra looked at his new allies.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/W23nNSu.png[/img] Astra: Well, thank you for the clarification for the mission. We'll be sure to be careful and not let any enemy get us. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zFP7KpM.png[/img] Lass: The Black Moon would do no less. Anyone who gets in our way has two choices: die or die. [img]https://i.imgur.com/IWGadDW.png[/img] Astra: Now now, that's just your M.O., Lass. I'm more merciful, if I say so myself. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8cW2Tlh.png[/img] Astra: But in any case, now that you mentioned DUST, there's something I'd like to share. Normally I would ignore it because it never had anything to do with us before, but since it does now, it's a good time to say it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ouhTiNv.png[/img] Lass: Alright, Astra, out with it. Don't dilly-dally with the information. [img]https://i.imgur.com/hvyiBa1.png[/img] Astra: The part about the Psychic rescue... it might happen. And it might be really good for some morale raising. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jbID5EG.png[/img] Lass: What do you mean? [b][i]*BGM fades*[/i][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/F2kxdSI.png[/img] Astra: Chances are high that we're rescuing the victim that DUST captured for us. You know... Willard.
